21. I have a problem with Lieberman telling me I'm wrong for what I believe
It's not that Lieberman supports the war that I have a problem with. There are several democrats that basically tow the Bush line on the war. It's that he goes on national television and says that "Democrats need to accept the fact that Bush is president and follow him on Iraq." It's not as inflamatory as saying "You're Un-American if you don't support the war" but I can read between the lines and it's pretty damn close.

If Lieberman had simply gone on TV and simply said, "I respect the opinion of many members of my party on this issue but I have to disagree" then I would be completely fine with him.

Sorry Joe but you can go fuck yourself. I am going to keep speaking out against this war until more people listen to me and convert to my side because I'm right and you're wrong. I do not need to accept the fact that Bush is president and support his war. The people who disagree with this war are growing in numbers and eventually our numbers will be large enough that the president will have to pull out of Iraq or this country will elect somebody that will, it is that simple.

BTW, should Ned Lamont win in the primary I certainly hope that those DUers who are claiming that voting for Democrats is the most important thing won't pull a double standard.
